• Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/Gas 7. Line a 25cm ovenproof frying pan or baking tin with baking paper and grease with butter.

• In a large frying pan, fry the bacon until it releases all its fat and is crisp. Leave in the pan to cool, then break up into bits with your fingers and mix with the bacon fat. Put to one side.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs and pour in the bacon bits and the bacon fat, sweetcorn kernels and chillies.

• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir to combine.

• Pour the mixture into the frying pan or baking tin (it should be pretty wet) and place in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool slightly, then remove from the pan, slice up and serve.
